I figured out why I forgot to update the minor number for 7.3. The old
RELEASE_CHANGES file had:
bump interface version numbers o src/interfaces/libpq/libpq.rc o src/include/pg_config.h.win32
I had forgotten to explicitly list the Makefile changes.
The new list is:
bump interface version numbers o src/interfaces/*/Makefile o src/interfaces/libpq/libpq.rc o
src/include/pg_config.h.win32
Of course, incrementing the minor number may not have even helped us
because we needed a major increase, which I didn't understand at the
time.
